"Why is this happening?"

The boat was sailing in the dark river, and Li Chenan's eyes were retracted from Lu Xiaoyu's face.

He didn't care about his background at this time.

He looked at Fan Taohua and asked very seriously.

Fan Taohua sighed for three breaths: "After you and Ruoshui entered the Forgetfulness Stage, Hua Manting and I changed our original plan. ”

Dongfang Hong and the others were immediately confused when they heard this.

She stared at Fan Taohua and asked, "What does this mean?" To put it this way...... The change in Kyoto two years ago, in the gathering of Besano, you died in front of Li Chen'an, are you pretending? ”

"This is also what you planned?"

Fan Taohua nodded: "If I don't die, Zhong Lipo will definitely not dare to move!" ”

"If I don't die, my sister Fan Lihua will never dare to come out and show up!"

"When I was planning the Kyoto Revolution, I had an all-night conversation with Hanamiwa...... The descendants of the Great Departure Empire exist! ”

"And stronger than we thought."

"They are not in some secret realm, they have already infiltrated the world!"

"This situation, the clearest is the county lord of Yun'an, two years ago we met in Guangling, and the county lord of Yun'an told me and Hua Manting a lot of news about the Great Departure Empire."

"A lot of it is untold news!"

"Almost all of them have changed their names and surnames in the world...... Away from this surname, they have long since abandoned. ”

"Or rather, a certain descendant of the Great Departure Imperial Family gave his loyal followers a different surname."

"For example...... The surname Lu! ”

"For example...... Zhongli! ”

"For example...... Ji surname! ”

"Wait!"

Lu Chuqi was taken aback, he looked at Lu Xiaoyu, Lu Xiaoyu nodded, and said with a solemn expression:

"Lu Fu, in the original plan, after my father became the Shangche Hou and mastered the army of Ning State, he should have assisted Ji Tai to seize the authority of Ning State."

"In this way, the soldiers can control Ning Guo in the hands of Ji Tai without blood, and they only need to wait for the so-called Holy Son to be born and hold the Flame Jade Seal, and Ning Guo will fall into the hands of the so-called Holy Son."

"Yue and Wu have almost the same plan."

"It's called the Sting...... Take the meaning of spring thunder and heaven and earth change. ”

"My father destroyed the Yong Kingdom and became the Marquis of Ning Kingdom, and the plan went smoothly, but Xi Wei became a friend of my father...... Or in other words, a teacher and a friend. ”

"Xi Wei and his father often talked at night at that time, and the two of them talked mostly about this national affairs and world affairs."

"Xi Wei didn't know about the stinging plan, he just thought that Ningguo had decayed, and just hoped that his father could rise up and re-establish a new country."

"At that time, I often accompanied them to make tea for them, and I also listened to a lot of ridicule opinions."

"Those views are a bit contradictory, but when you think about it, they make perfect sense."

"For example, he said that the so-called divine authority of kings, but who has ever seen what a god looks like?"

"He said it was nothing more than an irresistible idea instilled in the ignorant people by the rulers in order to rule the world."

"He thinks that the king of a country should be inhabited by the capable!"

"And for energy?"

"It is far from the villain, close to the virtuous ministers, generous, taking the well-being of the people as their own responsibility, being diligent, thrifty, loving the people, and following the advice."

He also talked about other things, such as reflections on this thousand-year-old history.

"Even such a powerful empire has fallen apart, and in the past thousand years, countries have changed dynasties several times, why is this?"

Everyone looked at Lu Xiaoyu, except for Li Chenan and Qiu Chen, the rest were all from the rivers and lakes.

They don't think about it, but that doesn't stop them from being curious.

Qiuchen is a learned Confucian, and he has been thinking about this issue in the past twenty years or so in Bailu Academy.

It took him twenty years, but he didn't find the root of the problem-

Corruption, of course, is one of the most important reasons for the fall of a dynasty.

But this is the appearance!

Every emperor and those ministers knew that corruption was the root of the destruction of the country, but in the end, every dynasty went to corruption.

They know it.

But no one stopped it, or there was no power to stop it!

For example, the prime minister of Ning Guo a hundred years ago.

After he became the prime minister, he opened a coffin shop in Yujing City, Kyoto, Ningguo, and prepared hundreds of coffins.

He did kill many corrupt officials and put them in coffins.

He did turn the tide at that time and saved the fortune of Ningguo's annihilation.

But the result?

The result was that after his death, the court became even more corrupt!

Those forces that had been suppressed by him rebounded even more!

Even his own heir, the Shang family in Jiangnan Province, also colluded with the officials of the imperial court and became a wealthy family of Ningguo, and he had long forgotten the clean and honest family style.

So, what is the root cause of this corruption?

It's in people's hearts!

The human heart is a bottomless pit.

With steamed buns in hand, I think it would be nice to have another bowl of porridge.

When you have porridge, you will want to have vegetables.

When you have food, you want to be able to sleep warmer.

So he would want a thatched hut, a small house, a big mansion, and be promoted, in order to make a fortune.

That's desire!

And man's desires are endless!

When a small number of people have power, for the sake of their hearts, they naturally have to use this power to seek benefits for themselves, their families and even friends!

This is the folk saying that a person who has attained the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven!

When the vast majority of people with power only have this greed in their hearts, the officials of the entire court will be angry because of the same interests!

This force will become extremely powerful.

Finally shake the country's capital.

In the end, the people are not able to make a living.

So somewhere there were people who were desperate and had no way out.

At the first call, the wall fell again.

And so, another cycle begins.

How to solve it?

"Xi Wei believes that the establishment of a new dynasty should be based on strict laws, emphasis on education, light on taxes, emphasis on the people, light on officials, and centralization of power......"

"In addition, he made a very impressive observation."

He said...... People's hearts are selfish, and different thoughts arise because of selfishness, and the thoughts of the upper and lower should be unified! ”

Qiuchen was stunned for a moment and asked: "How can this idea be unified?" ”

Lu Xiaoyu said: "Start with education! ”

"All over the country, abolish the hundred schools of thought, and respect the art of the Legalists!"

Xiao Baozi was stunned when he heard this, "What is the art of the Legalist?" ”

"Simply put, it's the rule of law."

Xiao Baozi's mouth was slightly pouted, and she felt that this didn't seem to be simple, because she didn't understand what the rule of law was.

She was too embarrassed to ask.

That would seem too uneducated.

Lu Xiaoyu sighed and said, "Father was moved by his words. ”

"I feel that the country described by Xi Wei may be able to prosper for thousands of years."

"So, my father did not carry out the stinging plan, and my father was moved to establish a new dynasty."

"This matter was noticed...... As a result, the Hou Mansion was destroyed. ”

"At first, I thought it was the Imperial City Division, but the eldest grandson Jinghong asked Wang Zhengjinzhong to come to the plum garden and rescued us."

"Later, Zitong and I went from Ningguo to Wuguo, did some business and made some money, in order to investigate this matter, we recruited some people and established the Dark Night Society."

She looked at Fan Taohua, and did not mention that the dark night would find out that the destruction of the Hou Mansion was due to Zhong Lipo's whistleblowing, but said very seriously:

"The Great Departure Empire has been revived!"

"They...... Probably a country has already been established! ”

Everyone was taken aback, "Which country?" ”
